The
whole 20th
century is equivalent to only 20 years of
progress at today’s rate.

Because
of the explosive power of exponential growth,
the 21st century will be equivalent to 20,000 years of progress at
today’s
accelerated rate of progress , or 100,000
years at the 20th century's rate.

Think
about this. Think about how significant this is!

The
20th century brought us from animal based transportation to space travel;
from letters written by kerosene lanterns to the internet; from crude
medicine to genetic manipulation. Hell... in college in the early
70's, I did calculations by aligning marks on sticks! (A Slide
rule...)

So...
can you imagine extending the massive changes of the 20th century for
100,000 years? The changes will be beyond our current comprehension,
but at least we can grasp some of the implications.

Many of the
expected changes are arriving ahead of schedule... and are already
here! What we do know is mind-boggling, so what will develop that we
don't expect?
